my favorite feet cream - beauty advice

I find it extremely useful to listen to other bloggers' advices - you can never try that much products by yourself to make your own opinion, but there are people who make it for you (and have lots of fun, actually). We are all a society here, where good experience can be shared, so I would like to introduce you my all-time favorite feet cream which became a true rescue for me.


It is Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue by The Body Shop. This is my second pot so far, and I rarely by products twice or more times, because I like to try different things, so I really loved this cream enough to by another one.


It works exactly how I want a perfect feet cream to work - super-moisturizing and caring, it totally saves my feet, especially in winter when they tend to be dry, but also in summer when open shoes damage your skin much more.


On The Body Shop's website it costs 9 pounds, which I'd say too much for a feet cream, but one pot lasted me for about half a year, so it won't be too bad for your finances to by it once in six months, and it is just so good - worth every penny.

If you have your favorites at the moment, let me know in the comments! I think I will make such posts regularly - different advices, stuff I like at the moment - books, make-up, places and etc. Would you like some more advices?

tv-shows freak

Time for some revelations on my blog: I LOVE serials! I always in the process of watching a tv-show and I have a huge list of ones I will watch sometime (over forty serials there already, whoops :). And if you like serials as much as I do, you will probably like this post - I am going to chat about the best ones I've ever watched so far.


Lost was my school favorite serial, everyone in my class were obsessed with it, we discussed it every morning and every evening I was at my TV to watch the next episode. I liked it a lot till the fourth season, afterwards it turned too mysterious (I think) although at the beginning it was just a realistic story of a plane crash. I haven't watched it till the very end, stopped on the third episode of the last season. I know how it ended though and... quite frustrated, to be honest, but once I will watch it from the beginning to the very end. And Sawyer (Josh Holloway) is sexy. A cute actor is also a reason to watch a series for me (one more revelation for you here, a friend of mine says I have a hundred favorite actors and that is almost true, I'd say about eighty :)


Oh yeah. If you like sarcasm and black humour as much as I do, you will like Dead Like Me. This tv-show is not that much famous but super-good. "Everybody dies" they say, and you have to cope with it. Lambent humour, quite a fresh and new story, great actors - enjoyed both seasons. But don't watch full-length movie, it turned out to be quite a crap (so frustrating!).


Well, quite an obvious one - Sex And The City. I still sometimes watch it or full-length SATC movies when I don't feel like thinking but more like looking at gorgeous outfits. Can't say the plot is very interesting for me, or the problems they discuss touch my heart, but it is easy and nice to watch. Wine and SATC - and the worst evening in your life becomes better.


Again, classics. I think everyone loves Friends. Because it's so good! I rarely laugh with jokes, but they made me. My favorite character is Joey ("Joey doesn't share food!"), love him, he's the best. If you somehow haven't watched it yet - go and do it immediately, I said.


Well, also in school I was quite obsessed with Heroes. But here I am talking only about season one - this is a masterpiece. Seasons second, third and fourth are crap, which is quite sad. I would recommend to watch season one, this will be enough. Sylar is one of the coolest anti-characters ever, and Milo Ventimiglia is just cute (*another favorite actor here*).


Yep, Disney series! I love them all - Hannah Montana, Jonas, Wizards of Waverly Place and others. I know that I am 21, but who cares? They are funny and I am going to watch the rest of ones I haven't seen completely when there will be time for that.


"This is my spot". Big Bang Theory there! I love it, it is funny, good and... about physicists! I am a physicist, and will tell you some truth - characters there are grotesque but real physicists are REALLY look like them sometimes, no kidding. I don't know how will Big Bang Theory end, but so far it was super-good. And, btw, what I do in physics is something in between of what Raj and Sheldon do =)


If you like mystery (and handsome guys), you will like Supernatural, all about ghosts, witches and mysteries. Main characters, brothers Sam and Dean are super-cool, especially Dean, he has a good sense of humour and life-attitude I like. After season four they turned into Bible themes, which was quite obvious after dealing with hell so much, don't know if I like that a lot, but in general, a huge like for Supernatural.


I've just started watching Breaking Bad. Everyone seem to like it so much so that I had to watch it myself. I also feel like I need some more black humour in my life, and Breaking Bad seems like a good option. I also enjoy lots of chemistry there ( I studied it in school, and though I chose physics, still like chemistry as well). And, Breaking Bad got a few Golden Globes and I believe people there won't choose a bad tv-show to award.



Oh, this was a long chat and I feel that my language is quite bad and flat in describing, but I loved to write my series advice. I would like you to tell me which tv-shows are your favorite, have you watched ones of above and what do you think about them, and if you would like more of these "chatty-opinion-describing" posts =)

imagine - book advice

I would like to tell you about the book I've read recently, which is "Imagine" by Jonah Lehrer. I got it accidentally because I am subscribed to an "english-learning" page on vk.com and was hugely impressed with it. The book really changed my mind about some stuff and that is why I want to share my feelings with you, my dear readers.

This book is about creativity and insights, on the cover it says "Imagine. How creativity works." The author shows from different points of view, what influences our ideas and our imagination - how it works biologically, how were great inventions made, why brainstorming is a bad idea and crowded bathrooms are good one. How are greatest companies like Google or Apple organized inside, what's the difference between "insight-art" and "on-drugs-art" and why Israel is a good place for sharing ideas.

I've learned enormous things about creativity and imagination. I am a physicist, but I also work as a designer and both science and art need creativity, fresh ideas and insights. But it is never easy, as some people may think, great ideas are unique and they don't come to your head immediately when you need one, even if you are "ought" to be creative and overfilled with cool new stuff, and "Imagine" cleared some points of the process for me, I really started thinking easier about the way you create something new.

I would recommend this book for everyone, because the way new ideas appear in people's heads is fascinating and, probably, you will be the one who has the greatest idea in the world and should just get it out of your head? :)

If you had read this book, please share your opinion! And if you know something similar, I would like to read something else on this topic, personally, I'll definetely read other books of Jonah Lehrer! Are you reading anything good at the moment?

some new makeup stuff

Small beauty haul I made recently. Probably, I would never dedicate a special post for such a thing, but the photo looks so nice! While it's summer, I definetely have to make more photos outside.

Here we have:

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipliner in Clear - I were searching for transparent lip pencil for a while, it's such a handy thing, you can use it with lipglosses or lipsticks of any color. No bleeding, helps to keep a lipstick on your lips, there's no danger that you'll make a wrong line and will have to start from the beginning (it's transparent, hey!). I also use it with coloured lipliner to keep this in place.

Catrice Lip Appeal Lip Gloss - in perfect nude shade. Lipgloss is fine, nothing spectacular but it's okay, I keep it in my "to-go" makeup bag.

Daily Wants Cuticle Balm - nice thing, I like it. Good for cuticle moisturising, smells good and not oily, so it doesn't leave spots on your clothes.

essence volumizing lash powder

I would like to introduce my first beauty-product review of Essence Volumizing Lash Powder. I found it accidentally, it was something I've never tried before, so decided to buy one.

Хочу представить вам мой первый обзор beauty-продукта - пудры для ресниц Eccense Volumizing Lash Powder. Наткнулась на нее случайно в магазине и не смогла не попробовать - такое я увидела впервые.





Package includes powder itself, brush and instruction. It says you should apply one layer of mascara, than powder and seal it with one more layer of mascara.

В комплекте идут баночка с пудрой, кисть для ресниц и инструкция. Согласно последней, нужно нанести один слой туши, пока она не высохла, нанести пудру и закрепить сверху еще одним слоем туши.


To be honest, my feeling about this powder are mixed. I'd say yes, it works, but I definetely expected something more.

Если честно, чувства по поводу эффективности этой пудры у меня смешанные. Она вроде и работает, но наверное я ожидала гораздо более сильного эффекта, хотя сравнивать в общем-то и не с чем.


One way or another, the idea is funny, I don't regret spent money. What do you think? Have you tried Essence Volumizing Lash Powder and what were the results?

Так или иначе, идея забавная, потраченных денег мне не жалко. Как вы считаете, стоит ли оно того? Пробовали ли вы Essence Volumizing Lash Powder, если да, то какие ощущения?
